It’s official: Harrison High School’s John Herrington is the winningest football coach in Michigan High School Athletic Association history.
The Hawks cruised to a 39-0 Homecoming win over Berkley Friday, giving the veteran coach his 431st career win.
Herrington has been Harrison’s only head football coach since the school opened in 1970. Under his leadership, Hawk teams have won 13 state championships, more than any other Michigan program.
